Try This: Display with Variable Labels

Let’s try modifying the project so that it displays s = ABC 123 instead of just ABC 123 in the terminal. That way, you’ll know that the terminal is displaying the contents of the s variable you created. This is very useful in a project that has many variables!

Example project: first_string_try_this

  • Change project’s name from first_string_intro to first_string_try_this.
  • Change serial write line (s) to serial write line (“s = “, s).
  • Click the Download button.

  • Check the results in the serial terminal.
  • Verify that it displays s = ABC 123
